So, Upon starting the car this morning (to see if the battery held its charge, which it didnt, the coolant leak returned. So Im thinking cracked/loose hose possibly? the leak only occurs while the car is running.

Has the battery been flat for a while? If so its a bin job

I don't have the right tools for that at the moment (i am very unprepared )

But, Headlights are Restored, and im pretty happy with myself!, I also got all the dust and grime out of the inside, prepping for the big clean.

it's so sunny that it's hard to tell, but they are more than twice and clear.

oh, and yeah, I know the battery is a bin job. Alternator is cranking fine, my little diagnostic tool tells me the battery, it's discharging at a pretty fast rate, so Once i'm done cleaning her up, I'll fix this coolant problem and get a new battery.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
